I'll be in San diego later this week into next. I'd like to do some shore diving in La Jolla. Any recomendations on a dive shop in or near La Jolla for renting gear?

I would rent gear from either Ocean Enterprises or Sport Chalet. Both are nearby. Just Google both and you'll find them! There is another dive shop called OEX but I haven't dealt with them beyond fills.

OEX is about 100 yds from La Jolla Shores, just around the corner.

California Diver:
We rented gear from OEX last week. Without a doubt the worst gear rental ever. My son's regulator sputtered throughout the dive. I could hear it humming and sputtering with each breath he took. He was extremely uncomfortable with the delivery of air. The BCD's looked like worn brown leather cowhide vests. They had to be several years old. We used BCD's like this for our pool training during our OW course but I didn't feel comfortable in the ocean with them. We made one dive returned the gear and will never go back.
The guys in the shop were friendly but the only thing OEX has going for it is location.
I don't have enough experience with other dives shops to make a recommendation but I know enough not to rent from OEX again.
Good Luck

Josh is moving to a new location and won't be open other than for fills for the next 2 weeks, so he's not an option. Sports Chalet has good gear as well as Ocean Enterprises. I would call them all up before you have any surprises!
Have a great dive!
